Vehicle Description
Even with Ford's new Bronco, GM hasn't returned to the full-size
two-door SUVs to the market, and so 4x4s like this 1988 GMC Jimmy
became even more cherished classics. And because it's also a later
example, you get great features like fuel injection, an overdrive
transmission, and a comfortable A/C interior. But it never loses
the proper V8 power or removable fiberglass roof that has made
these sought-after icons.
The meaty tires and tall stance is the definition of outdoor
elegance on the big GMC's squared-off bodywork. Given the
capabilities of these trucks, it wouldn't be surprising if this one
lived most of its life off-road... but its exceptional condition
tells us it has seen far less action. In fact, we've been told
stories about how this has had long-term ownership and solid
investments. As a result, it's impressively clean and straight. It
also helps that there was a quality respray only a few years ago.
The two-tone gray and black looks great, especially with the
distinctive red pinstripe to separate the colors. The trim and
chrome appear to be original and in good condition, and there was
even a trailer hitch added so this one can be a distinct way to two
the toys.
This is an upper-level Sierra trim, which means this one has some
of the most creature comforts. You recognize this the moment you
feel the relaxing high-back bucket seat. The plush cloth feels
excellent on these, and it's the same way on the rear seats and
door panels. The grippy/classic steering wheel, tilt steering
column, and factory center console means you'll love long trips
behind the wheel. Plus, the cold-blowing R134a air conditioning,
power windows, power locks, cruise control, upgraded AM/FM/CD
stereo w/Bluetooth keep you comfortable everywhere from the
interstates to the trail. But we really know your true reason for
loving a Jimmy like this is the idea that on the right day, you can
remove a few bolts and have a complete open rear section for a very
cool convertible pickup.
Under the hood is a fuel-injected version of GM's robust 350
cubic-inch V8. The total mileage is currently unknown on this
classic, but the engine bay has quite a fresh look because we're
told it was rebuilt within the last few years. And the way this one
fires up and runs reaffirms a solid investment in this powerhouse.
A robust motor like this works great with the two-speed 4x4
transfer case, electronic locking front hubs, and new BF Goodrich
Mud Terrain T/A tires for a great go-anywhere off-roader. But as
much as this all sounds like a great way to drive through the dirt,
the 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive, power
steering, and front disc brakes make this a pleasant 4x4 for all
occasions.
The sale comes complete with the original dealer invoice, owner's
manual, and even a replacement tailgate. This is a properly
maintained Jimmy that does everything right. So at this price, we
know it will be leaving us soon. Call today!!!
